Peter Gabriel has been writing music since the 1960’s, and has established himself as a talented performer and songwriter since the beginning of his first project, Genesis. A solo artist for many years now, Peter Gabriel continues to innovate with his songwriting and approach to music. With Peter Gabriel’s newest release, “Scratch My Back,” graphic designer Marc Bessant pays tribute to innovation and delivers an inspired piece of packaging which marries technology with tradition.
Marc’s portfolio is quite music-centric, thanks, in part, to his connection to Real World Studios (would post this place to my architecture blog if I had one). His clients include
Portishead, Malachai and DJ Andy Smith. Stunning collection of work.
